Flight period: II April - I August

Localised in the study area; it is tied to well-preserved marshlands with rich aquatic and riparian vegetation, mainly at low elevation (max. elevation recorded: 597 m a.s.l.). Specifically, it is found at Pian di Spagna-Lake Mezzola, Laghetti della Peschiera, Lake Piano, Lake Segrino, Lake Alserio, Lake Montorfano, Lake Pusiano, two sites within the Parco Regionale di Montevecchia e della Valle del Curone LC and Toffo-Oasi dell’Alberone. Its occurrence at Lakes Annone and Sartirana, recorded in 1948 and 1977, respectively, was not confirmed in recent years; however, further investigations of these sites are needed to confirm its local extinction.
